    Flight to Goa from anywhere in the UK, for one week, earliest departure 28th Feb, latest return 15th March.

    Best so far

    Gatwick to Goa direct with Thomascook
    Leaving 7th of March return 15th of March - £385

    Other option Manchester to Goa depart 2nd of March return 10th - £365, also with Thomas cook

    No extras included, meals etc.

    Basically a lot of my family are over in India for a while and I want to meet up with them in Goa, they are in Goa for the two weeks as stated so any time within these dates is cool, but I cant afford to take more than a week off work.

    I am willing to take a flight where I have to change somewhere if it's cheaper, I know alot of flights change in Mumbai for example.

    I actually live in Newcastle but realise I may have to fly from London.

    Any help will be massively appreciated.
